As part of a continuing expansion, TD Bank on Saturday is opening two new branches in Sayville and Mount Sinai and plans to open three more on Long Island later this year.

The company said the two branches will bring its count to 52 in Nassau and Suffolk counties combined, making it one of the larger financial institutions in the region by that measure.

These will be the 19th and 20th branches the bank has opened on Long Island since arriving here through the acquisition of Commerce Bank in October 2007.

TD Bank said the two locations, which will employ at least 10 people each, are being led by managers who have run branches at some of the nation’s biggest financial institutions.

TD Bank, which employs 850 on Long Island, hired Patricia Owens to run the Sayville branch. A banking veteran with more than 25 years of experience, Owens most recently managed the Capital One Bank branch in Sayville.

The bank also named Jennifer Kelly, who currently manages its West Babylon branch, as the manager of the Mount Sinai branch. She most recently managed Chase’s Miller Place location for more than nine years before joining TD Bank in 2010.

The company said the new branches are its 61st and 62nd energy-efficient locations across its footprint, from Maine to Florida.
